Karisma And Sunjay Withdraw Divorce Petition: Courtroom Drama
Kahaani mein twist. The latest development in the Bandra Family Court in the Karisma Kapoor-Sunjay Kapoor divorce saga has taken everyone by surprise.

Karisma, who walked into the Court around 4 pm today with her lawyer Kranti Sathe, withdrew her consent from the divorce petition. Ditto for her estranged husband.



Reason: According to Karisma, Sunjay did not meet the financial commitments mentioned in the consent terms signed by the couple. According to Sunjay, Karisma did not give him access to their children Samaira and Kiaan.

Speaking exclusively to SpotboyE, Kranti Sathe said, "That's a blatant lie by Sunjay. It's an excuse and alibi to cover up for his failure on his commitments. Karisma always gave him access to both their kids. It's been a waste of 18 months in Court, Sunjay refused to comply to the terms and conditions."



Did Karisma not call Sunjay and tell him to fulfill his promise? "There was a series of meetings between them and their families. Even the lawyers were present at those meetings. But nothing helped."

So what were those terms and conditions, we asked? "He was supposed to set up a trust in the name of their kids, plus he was supposed to give away the Bandra flat to Karisma in her name."

Does that imply that Karisma will now have to vacate and look for a new accommodation? "Why? She has lived there for more than 5 years and will continue to so," the lawyer shot back.



So what exactly happened during the proceedings? Was Sunjay present? Replied Sathe, "No, Sunjay left for the US on the day that he knew we will have a hearing on November 27 (Imagine!). He was on Skype today, and that's all the interaction we had with him."



Added Sathe, "I have never seen such a case. The children must have suffered from agony. Above all, it must have taken a toll on Karisma. It's not been easy on her."

What next? Will Sunjay get access to the kids now? Sathe said, "Let's see, Karisma will wait and watch what Sunjay does next. As for the second part of your question- with the kind of this new history behind them, I don't know how both parties will react hereafter."



Not too long ago, buzz was, the Raja Hindustani actress had decided to patch up and go back to her estranged husband with her kids (Karisma ready to reconcile; Hubby still dating Delhi socialite, Nov 20). All that is clearly a thing of the past now. 

Where does that leave the Delhi socialite Priya Sachdev (who is having an affair with Sunjay) and Sandeep Toshniwal (CEO of Eurolife Healthcare Pvt Ltd, who is Karisma's boyfriend in Mumbai)? Nowhere! Priya can't get married to Sunjay, Sandeep can't be Karisma's husband. Unless of course, there is another kahaani mein twist.

For those who've come in late, Karisma and Sunjay tied the knot in 2003 but never got along. After a lot of fights and patch-ups, Karisma moved out of Sunjay's house in 2009 and shifted base to Mumbai. In 2014, the two decided to end their 12-year long marriage and filed for divorce through mutual consent.
